Known as a distinctly English author, D.H. Lawrence is reevaluated
as a creator and critic of American literature in this imaginative
study. From 1922 to 1925, during his "savage pilgrimage" in Mexico
and New Mexico, D.H. Lawrence completed the core of what Lee
Jenkins terms his "American oeuvre" - including his major volume of
criticism, Studies in Classic American Literature. By examining
Lawrence's experiences in the Americas, including his fascination
with indigenous cultures, Jenkins illustrates how the modernist
writer helped shape both American literary criticism and the
American literary canon. Reassessing Lawrence's relationship to
American modernism and his literary contemporaries in the New
World, Jenkins portrays Lawrence as a transatlantic writer whose
significant body of work embraces and adapts both English and
American traditions and innovations.
A History of Modernist Poetry examines innovative anglophone
poetries from decadence to the post-war period. The first of its
three parts considers formal and contextual issues, including myth,
politics, gender, and race, while the second and third parts
discuss a wide range of individual poets, including Ezra Pound, T.
S. Eliot, W. B. Yeats, Mina Loy, Gertrude Stein, Wallace Stevens,
William Carlos Williams, and Marianne Moore, as well as key
movements such as Imagism, Objectivism, and the Harlem Renaissance.
This book also addresses the impact of both World Wars on
experimental poetries and the crucial role of magazines in
disseminating and proselytizing on behalf of poetic modernism. The
collection concludes with a wide-ranging discussion of the
inheritance of modernism in recent writing on both sides of the
Atlantic.
In this collection, an international team of contributors contests the conventional critical view of modernism as a transnational or supranational entity. They examine relationships between modernist poetry and place, and foreground issues of region and space, nation and location in the work of poets such as Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens, and Marianne Moore. The book brings the work of major canonical writers into juxtaposition with more neglected modernists such as Basil Bunting and Dylan Thomas, writers whose investment in the concepts of region and nation, it is argued, contributed to their relative marginalization.
In this 2000 collection, an international team of contributors
contest the conventional critical view of modernism as a
transnational or supranational entity. They examine relationships
between modernist poetry and place, and foreground issues of region
and space, nation and location in the work of poets such as Ezra
Pound, Wallace Stevens and Marianne Moore. The book brings the work
of major canonical writers into juxtaposition with more neglected
modernists such as Basil Bunting and Dylan Thomas, writers whose
investment in the concepts of region and nation, it is argued,
contributed to their relative marginalisation. These essays offer a
fascinating perspective on contemporary valuations of modernism
through their investigation of some of the Anglo-American locations
of modernism, and assess the regional and nationalist affiliations
of modernist poetry. The Locations of Literary Modernism maps a
topography of poetic modernism that is quite different from what
had hitherto been accepted as comprehensive.
This Companion offers the most comprehensive overview available of
modernist poetry, its forms, its major authors and its contexts.
The first part explores the historical and cultural contexts and
sexual politics of literary modernism and the avant garde. The
chapters in the second part concentrate on individual authors and
movements, while the concluding part offers a comprehensive
overview of the early reception and subsequent canonisation of
modernist poetry. As well as insightful readings of canonical
poets, the Companion features extended discussions of poets whose
importance is now being increasingly recognised, such as Mina Loy,
poets of the Harlem Renaissance, and postcolonial poets in the
Caribbean, Africa and India. While modernist poets are often
thought of as difficult, these essays will help students to
understand and enjoy their experimental, playful and fascinating
responses to contemporary social and cultural change and their
dialogue with the arts and with each other.
